Well, i got my van back from the paint shop, looks fantastic, but i am having one problem. The oil buzzer/light goes off over 2000rpm all the time, every time and stays on until i shut off and restart the engine. I am 95% sure its from sitting for 6 weeks and not a real problem as it never did it before. i plan on checking the connections at the .9 bar switch and replacing the switch. I did many a search on the topic, but how hard is it to get to the switch? Does the pulley have to come off and are any special tools required? I would go take a look at it but the van is currently 60 miles away and i wont be able to get to it until next weekend. Any helpful insight is much appreciated. Thanks

-Chris

it's the wire from that switch that needs to ground. Make sure it is on and intact! I had a bad time finding a problem once. turned out the wire was corroded off at the connector, but still held by the insulation.
